Yes i must say i HATE splash screens. They waste my time. Planning on assasinating the guy who thought of them. I am using 1152x854 desktop resolution and i can BARELY read the words. Im serious i have to higlight them to see. Maybe a slightly darker colour would help in conjunction with a slightly higher font. One of the things i learned in Web design is that you must check you're page at as many resolutions as possible.

I like the genral design tho. I'd like to see you're gallery working.
